Jingren Palace is the birthplace of Emperor Kangxi
Jingren Palace, like the other eleven palaces, was built in the eighteenth year of Ming Yongle (1420).It was originally named Chang'an Palace, and was renamed Jingren Palace in the 14th year of Jiajing (1535).Jing, "Shuowen Jiezi": "Scenery, sunlight, from the sun, the sound of Beijing." Tengwen." Extended to "big", for Mu.Ren mainly means benevolence, charity, gentleness, and virtuousness.The emperor hoped that the concubines living in Jingren Palace could admire and cultivate the spirit and character of great benevolence, great love, great kindness and great kindness.The name of Jingren Palace followed the old one in Qing Dynasty and remained unchanged.
Jingren Palace basically maintains the layout of the early Ming Yongle. There is a palace gate in front, and two courtyards are surrounded by walls and buildings.In the front yard, there are five main halls, and three east and west side halls, neat and solemn.There are five back halls in the backyard, and there are ear rooms on both sides of the hall, and three halls in the east and west.
Different from other palace courtyards, there is a stone screen inside the Jingren Gate. The base and frame are carved with white marble, and the center of the screen is natural marble, only two centimeters thick. Mountains and ravines.This stone screen is simple in style, and it is said to be a relic of Da Nei in the Yuan Dynasty, which is extremely rare.

In the front hall of Jingren Palace, there were no wall pictures or plaques on the east and west walls.However, Yongshou Palace has a plaque.In the sixth year of Qianlong (1741), Emperor Qianlong ordered eleven plaques to be made according to the style of the plaques of Yongshou Palace, and he wrote the plaques himself.Therefore, the East and West Six Palaces all have their own plaques.Emperor Qianlong's decree: "After the hanging, for tens of millions of years, you must not tamper with it. Even if your concubine moves to another palace, you must not take it to replace it." If it is too full, how could the Qing Dynasty have tens of millions of years!But his meaning is still clear, that is, his descendants cannot move the plaques of the East and West Six Palaces, they must be hung for a long time, and they should not be moved at will.
Emperor Qianlong became very interested again, and ordered the "Picture of Palace Training" to be hung in the front halls of the East and West Palaces.On the east wall of the front hall, "Poetry of Palace Training" is hung; on the west wall, "Picture of Palace Training" is hung. "Gong Xun Poems" was written by Emperor Qianlong himself, and Zhang Zhao, Liang Shizheng, and Wang Youdun were ordered to write books respectively, and "Gong Xun Tu" was written by painters.
Emperor Qianlong also stipulated that this group of carefully drawn "Pictures of Palace Training" should be hung on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month (December) every year, while the Spring Festival couplets and door gods are hung in the six palaces of the east and west.On February 2 of the coming year, when the door gods are received, the "Gong Xun Tu" of each palace will be stored in the Poetry Learning Hall behind Jingyang Palace.What is the content of the "Palace Training Picture" hanging in Jingren Palace?
On the east wall of Jingren Palace, there is Zhang Zhaojing's "San Zhi Yan Yan Meng Lan Zan" written by Emperor Qianlong.Emperor Qianlong's imperial praise said: "Yi started to start business, and Lan also conquered Mu. The auspicious man is in the palace, and the angel is here. Article, seven clans of Yuanchang. Gentleman Zheng Duo, recorded by Xuan Ni." (Volume 8 of "Guochao Palace History") This passage is not easy to understand.A concubine with low cultural literacy may not understand it well.In order for the concubine to understand the meaning of the word "Yanji Menglan Zan", the "Yanji Menglan Picture" was hung on the west wall.Likes correspond to pictures, and words match pictures, which have both decorative and enlightening functions. "Yanyang Menglan" comes from a historical allusion.This allusion comes from the records of "Spring and Autumn Zuozhuan·Xuangong Three Years".
The story of Yanyang Menglan tells the story: Zheng Wengong (672-628 BC), the monarch of Zheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period, reigned for 45 years, and his concubine Yan Yang was never favored by Wengong.Thinking about it day and night, suffering day and night.One day, Yan Yang dreamed of an angel and Ji Lan (Vanilla).Soon, Yan Yan met Zheng Wengong and told the story of his dream.Zheng Wengong was lucky to Yan Yang.Yan Yan said: "The concubine is not talented, but she is favored. If she is pregnant, if she doesn't believe it, she should have evidence. Can I use Lan as a proof?"Zheng Wengong promised.Later, Yan Yan gave birth to a son, named Lan, who became Zheng Mugong later.Zheng Wengong had several sons, who fought among themselves and fought openly for assassination.Zheng Wengong was angry and expelled the princes.Yan Jisheng's son Lan fled to Jin.Later, Gong Zilan followed Duke Wen of Jin to attack the state of Zheng and won a great victory.Gong Zilan inherited the throne of Zheng Wengong and became Zheng Mugong (627-606 BC), who reigned for 22 years.This story illustrates: A lowly concubine will also have the opportunity to be favored by the king, and the son she gives birth to will "be sure to be the king, and then he will be a slave".The story of Yan Yan Menglan gave those neglected concubines a hope: they will have good dreams, they will have good rewards, they will be favored, they will have sons—they will become kings, and they will have many descendants.Emperor Qianlong was very good at comforting the mind, moistening things with drizzle, and teaching silently.But more concubines are not as lucky as Yan Yang.
